Yeah I can see why. Not good at all.

Thanks for the clarification - I haven't got my hands on the new handbook yet. Good to hear at least one Legacy army is intact. As Stato said my point still stands though. Have a counts as war scroll or hit the old scrolls with the nerf bat but people lovingly paint up models for the game shouldn't have the rug pulled out from under them and be told they can't play.
I really don't like the legends model either as it excludes players from matched play. Legacy units shouldn't be top tier as that would be unfair for new players but people should still be allowed to play in events even if their army is no longer the best.

So your mate comes round to your house and says: 'I finally finished painting my Tomb Kings army - want a game?'. You take a look at them and complement your mate on a beautifully painted army. Your opponent uses the points from the compendium, runs Death Allegiance and includes some Morghasts and Endless Spells.
You say: 'game on' and have an awesome night.
There is an independent tournament coming up and your mate wants to join you. The tournament organiser says you can come but not your mate: sorry, we are using the General's Handbook pack and so you can't bring your Tomb Kings.
I am sorry but this is balls. If at any point GW has created a Warscroll you should be encouraged to bring it to an independent tournament if you want to. Legacy armies are not going to dominate the tables anymore so why not let them play?

I wonder if we will get a White Dwarf update like what we did with Skirmish? They could tidy up a few tables and rules and through in a short battle report or two. That would be nice.
-
I'd be really happy with a level 2. Though I love my Yhetees, some new plastic ones would be nice though. How awesome would a giant maw endless spell where the ground turns into a big Sarlac pit - that would be cool.

I really like the concept of Path to Glory and would like to see it stick around. Seems like a fun way to slowly build your force whilst playing games. When I finish my Skirmish campaign I am working on I'd like to give it a try.
-
I wasn't planning on buying this as I didn't end up using the last one all that much but I have changed my mind. They have packed a lot of great stuff in for narrative and open play that I really like the sound of. Meeting Engagement sound great too. Looking forward to this release.

Calm the farm GeneralZero. GW have a very modern distribution system it is just that they are going through a period of unprecedented demand. You will get your paints soon enough.

Oh we totally shouldn't be doing that kind of thing but I am the worst for it.
Don't tell anyone but I even paint the underside of my bases black to hide the white marks from the magnet superglue... and yes I know. 🙃

Should there be a Season of War section? (After the Realmgate Wars but before Malign Portents). I am not sure if there were any Black Library books set during this time but there was some material on the old website that contains lore from this period.
While I think of it, do we know what time period Firestorm is roughly set in? Edit: Firestorm was set during the Season of War
-
Very hard to be sure about this sort of talk but I do think it is plausible. There is room to add more factions to Death and some of the recent models from 8th Edition, like the Necrophinx, were cracking models and made it into the (early) Black Library novels. Who knows?
-
Wow - mind blown by the Corvus Cabal! I have to have them! 🤗 Looks like I will be playing Warcry! The standard of these new war bands is just incredible.
-
Being focused on Skirmish I haven’t even got around to getting Malign Sorcery yet! Although, I may be picking it up tomorrow morning! :)
I am not sure I will get around to using the content in Forbidden Power any time soon.
The new lore is the biggest draw for me but at the asking price I am not sure I can justify purchasing it for that.
-
Wow. That’s quite amazing.

Amen brother... think I get to play maybe 15-20 games ayear at the very most.
4-6 games for me

I am really impressed with all of the new war bands. We know that most of the Mortal Realms are under the control of Chaos and with these models you kind of get the true post apocalyptic setting as it is realised in the background. Very hard for me to choose a favourite but these new snake ones might be it.
I've gone from mildly interested in Warcry to quite excited to see what is in store.

I assumed the new primer was part of the chemistry. Like perhaps slightly hydrophilic to draw the paint away from the edges? Maybe it is just a nice tone for the contrast colours to sit upon?

Im testing it before I judge because it sounds a bit too good to be true.. but... if it works it’s a great option.
That’s how I feel. The skink in the video looks a bit rough but it isn’t bad at all for table top standard. Hopefully, we’ll get someone who has tried them out at the demo to enlighten us.
-
Looks pretty interesting. Could be good for horde armies like Skaven. I am especially interested in combining the colours with the existing range and how the 'Eavy Metal team might use them. Think you will like them?

Hang on @RexHavoc, Footsore Miniatures said they received a request to change their name and worked with Games Workshop to reach a satisfactory conclusion. This is from the own press release. This is nothing like Chapterhouse. It was Dark Peak Games who served a cease and desist on them.
To everyone else, I am sorry to make a post like this because it has nothing to do with rumours. I just thought you were being a little unfair in your last post Rex. Anyway, probably a topic for discussion in another place on the forum.

I would guess a realmwalker is likely an explorer/map maker scholar. There was a famous traveller of Ghur in the Age of Myth call Occlesius the Realms-Walker.
-
I think it would be wonderful to see the Tomb Kings back - mainly because I loved the 8th Edition model releases. I'd love to play against them but wouldn't plan to collect them myself to be honest.
-
Well done on those who picked the Sylvaneth for the rumour engine of chitinous armour. With news like this the new Battletome is likely very close.
-
It does say the paperbacks are disappearing in June though - at least that was how I read it. I would assume they will remain for sale digitally.
Units not in GHB19 or Battletome still ok to play in tournys?

Absolutely, that's what I am thinking. Don't encourage others to invalidate peoples lovingly painted units unnecessarily GW . We also need all legacy war scrolls available with points just like those in the compendiums.
